The riverbank at dusk. Two shadows stretched long across the grass stained orange by the setting sun. You reach out toward the bandage on my cheek.
*Best friends... The moment I heard that word, I imagined a future where Guest normally falls in love with someone, starts dating them, and I celebrate it as a 'best friend'... Just thinking about it felt like I was going crazy.
Ah, I can't take it anymore.
I could feel my heart creaking and snapping. I'd reached my limit.*
